Default Thinking about selling, how much to ask

Ok I have a 1995 WRX Wagon, its done like 67k miles is very clean and pretty standard. Its had a polar performance chip, cat back and samco hoses but other than that its as it left the factory.. Im thinking of asking around 3k

I have spent more on her in the last 16 months or so but we all know we never get it back, its also got cat 1 alarm/immob and a tracker. Good rubber all round and theres nowt wrong.. Im selling as im funding a V8 project

Best place to sell? I was thinking eblag but cars always go a bit cheap on there, but at least you reach a wider audience,

Any thoughts?

Condition is everything - and what about history?

You are asking us to tell you how long the piece of string in your hand is

But we can say that £3k is probably at the very top, that would be for the better examples (rare these days). £2250 may be nearer the mark in the current climate?

Ask yourself, would you pay 3 grand for a 13 year old Impreza wagon import? I'm sure you've looked after it, but be prepared to accept £2000.

Unfortunatly there is no History before i had the car but I have added a little with servicing and such.. The condition is very good although how I can convey this accross to prospective buyers im not sure.

I have paid out over £5k i guess in odds n sods on it including purchase so Im already taking a £2k loss which I accept, If i can't get £3k or the higher end of £2750 for it then there is little poing in me selling it to be honest..

£2000k would be too much of a loss for me and I would just keep it in that case, cheers for your input lads, any more advice welcome

£2,500 bought my 1995 STi Wagon, view my scooby

So many to choose from, what its worth and finding someone to pay that is a mile apart. 3k is facelift territory

Agreed, with no history you are looking at the wrong side of £2,500 these days.

Thanks for all your input guys.. Guess I will just hang onto her then Can't say Im overly upset as its been a great car.

I'll stick a sign in the window for a bit and see if anyone bites at 3k but won't spend money advertising as I wont get the price I want!

Cheers
